A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Only if we continue to be dumbasses

We need to take universal basic income more seriously as a future policy

In my experience there are two groups of people who don't take UBI seriously.

  1. Rich boomers.
  2. People (mostly but not all, conservatives) who consume media paid for and engineered by rich boomers.

If you’ve been paying attention to society over the last 5-10-15-50 years you’ll see precisely that this concept will never be implemented. It would take catastrophe and the destruction of current society.

I share your pessimism tbh
